Disney Animators' Collection Littles Cinderella Mini Set

Product Information

This is the second of many live-action adaptations of classic Disney animated films released during the 21st century, following Maleficent ( Pete's Dragon doesn't count as it is considered an adaptation of a live-action movie). This is the fifth Disney film to only show the studio's logo at the beginning, and the main title and the closing credits at the end. The 1997 remake of the 1955 and 1965 films featured Brandy Norwood (the first Cinderella of color), Whitney Houston, Jason Alexander and Whoopi Goldberg. The musical was well received by viewers with this direct-to-television release boasting over 60 million viewers during its initial broadcast. Critics, however, were rather lukewarm. Behind the Magic: A New Disney Princess Fantasyland (8:17) – Ginnifer Goodwyn hosts a tour of the “upcoming” New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom park at Walt Disney World, a promotional piece that was more relevant in 2012 on the Diamond Edition release and one that has little to do with Cinderella.

Ella is her original name in the remake, like in the original fairy tale. She was called "Cinderella" by her stepfamily when she woke up one morning with her face coated in soot. In the original film, it was presumed that Cinderella was her actual name. Cinderella is referred by many as one of the most recognizable tales in history. Parade magazine listed the film among the greatest animated films of all time. [116] In 2008, American Film Institute ranked Cinderella as the ninth best animated film of all time, writing: "one of the most recognizable fairytale stories ever, Cinderella has stood the test of time."

Fortunately, the rest of the extras offer some real meat, even if they’re all produced in the far too reverential style that will be familiar to anyone who’s ever watched any Disney featurettes. From Rags to Riches: The Making of Cinderella is the centerpiece, following the production from inception to release. It was originally produced for the 1995 Deluxe CAV Edition LaserDisc release of Cinderella, and it’s definitely the best place to start. The Cinderella That Almost Was reveals Walt Disney’s various attempts to bring the story to the screen, including an abandoned Silly Symphonies version, and the planned features that preceded the final one in 1950. The Real Fairy Godmother is a biography of Mary Alice O’Connor, who provided the inspiration for the design of the Fairy Godmother, and went on to become something of a real-life fairy godmother of her own. From Walt’s Table: A Tribute to The Nine Old Men examines the nine animators who had such a profound impact on the signature Disney style. The Art of Mary Blair looks beyond those nine men to one of the women who had an equally profound impact on that style, in this case Mary Blair, whose use of color will be instantly recognizable to Disney fans. During the narration at the start of the original film, all characters were silent. In the remake, the narration extends a bit further in the film, but the characters were only silent while the narrator is talking. Cinderella was produced via traditional cel animation and photographed on 35 mm film by Bob Broughton, F. Bud Mautino, and William J. Tomkin, framed at the Academy aperture of 1.37:1 for its theatrical release. Disney has had a troublesome history with bringing their animated classics into the world of High Definition, with many titles having been scrubbed free of any original film grain, and much of the fine detail vanished in the process. Cinderella was one of the worst offenders in that regard, with all of the texturing and much of the fine detail having been completely erased. In some shots, the lines that represented the pleats in Cinderella’s gown were missing, and even some of the sparkles from the Fairy Godmother’s magic had been wiped out. This presentation is sourced from a brand new restoration, utilizing a 4K scan of the original nitrate camera negative stored at the Library of Congress, and with a new High Dynamic Range color grade in HDR10 only. The entire process was overseen by Director of Restoration for Walt Disney Studios Kevin Schaeffer, with the final approval of animators Michael Giaimo and Eric Goldberg. (It’s worth nothing that this restoration is also due to hit Disney+ on August 25th, meaning that an exclusive Dolby Vision grade will likely be included, per their usual modus operandi.)June Foray as Lucifer, [11] Lady Tremaine's mean-spirited cat who attempts to hunt down Jaq and Gus. Fortunately, and to Walt’s great pleasure, Cinderella succeeded. Finally, the studio had an acclaimed, financially successful film that captured the hearts of motion picture audiences. The film also afforded the studio the chance to diversify into a number of different kinds of projects including television, nature documentaries, a wide range of live-action and animated films, and Walt’s theme park Disneyland. a b c From Rags to Riches: The Making of Cinderella (DVD) (Documentary film).

In the ballroom scene, there are various one-colored dresses with similar color patterns as those of Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Belle and Tiana. Another Cinderella Story was a modern re-telling of the original featuring the likes of Selena Gomez and Drew Seely. This version was retold as a modern story that was deemed as more of a romantic comedy and a thematic sequel to the 2004 film, A Cinderella Story, which was widely hated by both fans and critics. The follow-up was met with praise, which led to a third release in the (unconnected) series titled, “A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song,” which was also deemed a flop by critics and moviegoers. The first credited (short) film in the history of the story was a French piece produced by Georges Meiles. The film met with little critical review and was deemed a complete failure at the time. The carriage is colored gold with glass instead of white, and the doors on both sides of the carriage are both double doors instead of single.Zeitlin, Ariel (January 11, 2022).
